Yep. I remember that one. That was the move back in the day. Don't like it, whatever it is? Find a comfortable, safe place, and just pass out! Not my fault. I'm outta here, like that, passed out. Can't you see?
That’s not what actually started it. What started it was, Ukenta was at a rack looking through it when Elphick came right next to her, reached around her, and placed an item onto the rack.. (which wasn’t problematic). The problem was that Elphick stayed right there shoulder to shoulder continuing to go through the rack. So, Ukenta said, “Excuse me,” and asked Elphick to respect the 6ft Covid distance ESPECIALLY since Elphick wasn’t wearing a mask. Elphick didn’t like that and went to the cashiers asking them to call Security because Ukenta was “rude and threatening her.” Being accused of making threats is what prompted Ukenta to start recording. Elphick swung BEFORE realizing she was being recorded. And she swung because Ukenta was refuting the lie that she ever threatened Elphick. It was only AFTER taking a swing that Elphick realized that Ukenta wasn’t going to fight back and instead chose to record. And when she realized that the attack was recorded, that’s when she retreated from being the aggressor, denied the assault, and understood that she was going to end up online.
Exactly! These Karen’s bait you while they are the aggressors bc they know how it will turn out for a black person. Black people are inherently assumed to be the aggressor in ALL situations. When she realized she was being recorded and the lady wasnt fighting back, she went into full “I’m scared” Karen mode. If she was that scared she would have gotten as far away from her as possible!!! Not stay there and swing at her. People wake up to the manipulation please. WW been doing this forever because they can. People still don’t get it. Smh 🤦🏾♀️
Thanks for giving the public context. I was wondering what the white woman had done for Ukenta to feel that she needed to record their interaction, a defensive tool that black people now have.
She continues to use temper tantrums because she’s had past success with them. How on earth did her family support this behavior? Looks like there’s going to be a major behavioral shift, or correction, in this young woman’s behavior. She was very much aware that there might be consequences from this tantrum, as she told the police of her concerns about losing her job and her apartment. SMH!
Dr. Grande. 1) As a doctor I would assume he would be more concerned about Abigail possibly committing self-harm by publicizing her shame like this. 2) It very well might have been a legitimate panick attack. 3) She might have had other mental issues. 4) It might not have been her fault from the beginning. 5) Race was never brought up by Abigail (the only time race was mentioned was regarding the "white tears" comment from the person filming 6) He also never addressed why the video was posted on social media in the first place 7) He left out possible financial motivation from the person filming getting over 100k 8) it looks like the video was edited prior to posting to social media.
She should according to her Instagram she was “sitting pretty in her car while all the blacks are mad in her DM’s” she is a racist Karen. 🙄🙄🙄😑 she should be locked up in Jail….. she isn’t mentally unstable she is using the same thing that has always been done. Her white privilege to get black people murdered. Emmit Till is a perfect example of this….
Do you realize how much dumb bs these people put up with in one mall shift? He's likely been there for years.. look at the bags under his eyes. Exhausted.
I know many women that have no sense of shame whatsoever. But in their case, they plan more carefully than Elphick and they make sure their horrendous acts are done in secret.
This is a common extortion game. It is bait and switch. False accusations and then film as if you are the victim. It can cause the target to react from the primitive brain. It is actually physical brain damage and the police understand these games. Probably she has been treated like this menus times and feels she is losing her mind. People are branded racists and told they have no rights and to keep their mouth shut.
Geometry and logic elude Elphick as she closes the distance while screaming "get away from me" as I wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes. Well done Doc
I find Dr. Grande's dry-as-a-bone humor absolutely hilarious! 2:50 - I lost it when he said, "geometry and logic don't seem to be Elphick's strong suit!" lol.
Yea that was a classic. And also when he said "she featured both" when referring Karen's response using a temper tantrum or sympathy to get a response from others. "Featured" LOL
She could, and should have been charged with assault. Assault isn't necessarily physical contact, it's more about the threat. "An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability."
@@eleanoraquitaine2966 she's definitely a toddler. That's exactly what I found myself looking at when I watched the video. First thing that popped in my head.
I believe she was in complete control of herself during every second of this. She tried the tactic of threats and aggression, then tried the tactic of crying and becoming the victim. When that didn't work, she slowly collapsed to get sympathy from other shoppers. The leg shaking was an elevation of that sympathy bid, as if she had some medical emergency. Then it was back to a combination of aggression and being threatened as she ran after the other woman while telling her to get away. She knew exactly what she was doing, and had complete control the whole time.
@@bthomson I'd call them "over the top." Jim Carrey's onscreen antics sometimes seemed out of control, and yet he always had complete control. And this woman is nowhere near the performer Jim Carrey is.
I felt like the leg shaking was because her “fainting” didn’t get the reaction she was looking for. Like when a toddler starts the kicking part of a tantrum.
I know it would be nice if we lived in a black and white, good guys and bad guys sort of world, but this is pretty likely a person with mental health issues. Your personal indifference to the possibility is pretty common when people who don't seem "crazy enough" to most normally functioning people have actual psychological episodes in public. You have absolutely no business speaking with a significant amount of certainty on this issue unless you are experienced in the field of mental health.
Oh really? Truly i would have guess older than 25; 45 maybe. I think someone acting this way Has to be the result of stress. Sure...she can also not be a nice person; but also just out of her mind. Out of control in life. I don't like the situation but I think Elphick certainly needs some help and compassion.
But what is with the filming? I atleast find it pretty offensive that she did'nt stop filming with her phone. I would get pretty mad if someone followed me with a phone, filming. What is the whole point?
Yeah! I was like, she could have just said "sorry, I don't know what I was thinking" immediately and just walked away. None of this would have happened.
I think she Immediately knew she f’ed up! But damn, the drama! The privilege lies in the fact that didn’t bother to immediately leave, because she knew the police would be on her side.
I dont, they should have checked her instead of the victim. The staff should have escorted her off the premises immediately! If the Black woman had lunged at that lunatic , she'd have been arrested.
@@itsano808 - it’s real. You probably don’t interact with too many people like the fainting lady, and you’re lucky. Unfortunately, I have a mother who acts just like her. It’s awful.
Problem caused by woman filming in the store; had she not filmed, the situation would have been defused. The woman filming was welcoming trouble, to cash in on it.
@@melvynobrien6193 She was filming because she wanted to document exactly what this white woman was going to do. With or without being filmed these Karens escalate and endanger poc when they eventually call the cops. Every poc should record these people.
@@melvynobrien6193 Guess you didn't see the start, where VS-Karen advanced towards the other woman with her hand raised like she was going to hit her before she noticed the recording & promptly backed up? Good on her for filming, I say!
@@grandmaida7819 It's a good thing Ukenta DID record her bizarre behaviour. Otherwise, when the police arrived, it would have been a matter of a white woman accusing a black woman of assault, and, without exonerating evidence, we know how that would have ended for Ukenta.
The woman having the fit was in a full blown narcissistic rage. An adult acting like a toddler is not normal and seems to be the manipulation of a narcissist.
Way too many people like this in America, today. It’s the Freedom crowd - freedom from responsibility to society, others, and for emotional discipline and character. I suspect they were spoiled brats that never emotionally matured and who missed the benefits of higher Ed, opting for over-priced job training (which, far from actually educating them, instead stokes their overblown, infantile egos). I could be wrong, but I don’t think so.
@@codacreator6162 unfortunately narcissistic personality disorder is usually from being brought up by an abusive narcissistic parent. It is learned and used as a defense mechanism. Not all people with a narcissistic parent becomes a narcissist though.

I don't understand how no one told her to shut up. I can't handle children screaming, I certainly wouldn't be able to tolerate a grown ass woman acting like that.
Hey there, I am sorry you have had to deal with that for so long. I am a therapist and am wondering if you feel like you have good support or counseling? Have you heard of EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desentitization and Reprocessing? It is a type of therapy technique that helps reduce distressed feelings around stress, traumatic memories, loss, etc. I have clients get amazing relief on anxiety with it. If you look at some RUclips videos about it and find a local therapist that is trained in it, it might get you more relief. Clearly you are a good hearted person and deserve to be freer and happy. Much peace to you!
My beautiful min pin does this to my bigger labrador and to stray cats. He bullies them and when they try to stand their ground, my min pin crys for help like he was the one attacked, even though no one actually touched him. The woman in this video literally acts just like my spoiled and pampered min pin..
I don't know if she was a narc or not. We can all agree she was a damn fool. Just a petty arse fool. 25 years old, what's she going to be like at 65? 😆
LOL...I know what you mean! My neighbor's narcissistic full grown adult brother when he can't get his way and starts to cry and pass out! I've witnessed it and its pathetic and funny at the same time!
Whaaat! Oh shite, I was thinking late 30's early 40's. Well damn you got me, now I feel bad for her. That's just sad. Nope nvm you have to be lying I refuse to believe that she is in her 20's. 🙅🏾♀️
I’ve had panic attacks and I can barely talk, breathe, and move let alone call the cops. Never did I have a temper tantrum during a panic attack. I have hyperventilated, tried to ground myself, and literally couldn’t carry a conversation with anyone else. I almost called 911 after my first one but took myself to the ER because I thought I had a heart attack. Panic attacks are so scary and most of the time you feel like you can’t breathe. She never said anything like that. She was manipulating the situation. The doctor got it right 100%.
I’m sorry, I have panic episodes too, and unfortunately a lot of people who don’t seem to equate them with temper tantrums… far from. I still remember the first panic attack I had, how tight my chest was, how I felt like I couldn’t breathe, it’s terrifying and you can’t just snap out of it. Even after years and therapy, I still have panic attacks, and while I may become irritable, overwhelmed, and have to leave, I have never, nor have I witnessed anyone I know who also have panic attacks ever behave other than maybe crying, like this lady. She definitely behaved in an attention seeking manner- panic attacks are not attention seeking.
I also had them, and I only managed to went the nursing room where I worked or asked someone to take me to the hospital. I couldn't breathe, stop crying and talk normally. No way in hell I could scream (one time the nurse took one hour to get my personal information because I couldn't speak, so she gave oxygen and keeping saying "every thing is fine, you're ok, I'm here" and if she needed to go to another room, she always said" I'm right back, but if you need me, make some noise" (it was a small nursing on the mall, so she would have listened). I once talked to a Uber who also had them and he told that he had the same symptoms but would also pass out, and because of that he stopped working as a driver for some time because on one time he only had time to stop the car on the sideways (he was telling me how better he got and how important is to take care of yourself). I mean, this lady is something else -.-... She's just trying to manipulate people.
You made a wonderful analysis of this particular event. I've only got one thing to add: The woman recording was certainly under the threat of being falsely accused. She says as much: who are they going to believe, her white ass or my black ass (or something like that). Narrating the recording is also serving the purpose of giving context. Threat isn't just imminent threat, it is fear over backlash as well.
Yes the sardonic "bye karen", as she came back to get one last shot of the women lying quietly on the ground before going to check on the yoga mats, definitely is helpful context!
@@Benson_Bear Seriously? That's your argument? Ukenta says it from behind the safety of the camera and I think she kept a rather civilized tongue compared to Elphick. That doesn't mean that there wasn't a threat coming from Elphick, the "damsell in distress", even though it wasn't imminent at the moment Ukenta said it. For her it was a release of tension to laugh. And let's face it, anyone seeing Elphick's behaviour with a little knowledge of how actual mental disturbed people react will call her Karen too and laugh at her ridiculous performance. Elphick is a disgrace to the cause of mental health awareness. Her example makes it difficult for people to learn the right response to a person with a real anxiety attack. And that I find at least as much of a problem. I do have an appropriate response to Elphick: a bucket full of cold water.
When the store employee called security, the employee probably told security that Karen is back. Security takes his time arriving at the scene in hopes that Karen would just leave, because he probably didn't feel like dealing with a Screeching Karen today.
Guarantee she did it every time she got in trouble as a child, and her parents ALWAYS gave in to her, rather than disciplining her as most of our parents did when we tried that crap.
"People asked Ukenta to leave". I really hate situations like this, I guess asking the calm person to leave is the path of least resistance and easiest way to diffuse a situation but gives the loud, agressive people what they want and is completely spineless.
There were people in the comments sayin that the black lady should have not scared her. And the black lady had no business in the store. I asked them how that was something logical to say? And they tried to correct themselves by saying..." No no I meant. The black lady should have not shopped there." I was like..... How and the hell is that correct?
It’s actually quite scary to have someone chasing you, especially when they’re charging at you like Elphick. Honestly, she should be deeply ashamed of her behavior. It was vile. It’s a shame no one asked her to leave the store.
I'd rather think of the bad apple state of things. Hopefully most of humanity is not shameless - but those who are cause much of the trouble in this world! This makes it seem as though their number is magnified!
All while being filmed, as if she was getting a few "takes". Did she think someone would cut out the part where she dramatically changed demeanor several times?
I have seizures and fainting spells due to psychological distress. Unfortunately a lot of the times my classmates believe their fake. They do look different than seizures due to epileptic ones (im sure as I've never seen someone have an epileptic seizures). But I can say regardless of what the fainting is caused by you don't slowly fall ESPECIALLY conveniently on a purse.
@@jasperrosa1369 I've fainted and had some sort of seizures and I have to say I have at times "fainted slowly", meaning I felt lightheaded and strange, and I went down carefully to avoid falling and getting hurt. If you have "warning symptoms" like lightheadedness, tunnel vision, "swooshing" in the ears, like I sometimes have, then you can be able to do that. That said, I don't think she fainted here.
I’m not stranger to passing out, I get bad anxiety attacks and even my asthma has caused me to collapse during school. The way Elphick just so slowly and softly fell down... it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen anyone do.
@@throbbinwoodofcoxley6830It’s def possible to pass out slowly, not uncommon at all, it’s just that most of the time someone passing out happens almost immediately and suddenly. I don’t smoke but forgetting to breathe is relatable af to me with my weak ass lungs lmao
If she hadn't done anything as the black woman started filming, it would have been nothing, and her job and apartment would be safe. Everything she did made it 10 times worse. But, this is probably how she's been acting since she was a child, to get out of trouble.
I'd bet that too. At the part where Elphick "falls down" on the floor, I had instant recall of memories of my (younger) Narcissist sister doing exactly that to get out of doing anything she was told to. My Narcissist mother used to laugh loudly at the drama. They both fed each other's dysfunction.
@@Tabby.cat2 it was! She grew up to be a professional victim, and attached herself to a man who exhibits a lot of Co-Dependant traits (compulsive caretaking, making endless excuses for her lies, spite, antagonism, etc), so she has another enabler now. Before I started no contact with her, her husband used to complain that she'd stonewall him (silent treatment) when she didn't want to do something. Narcissists aren't interested in personal growth, only control and power over others through manipulation. My sister is a stunted individual. I've been watching Jamie Lynn Spears' behaviour with interest. Britney and her sister are poles apart.
From my experience working retail when we had a situation with an irate and disrespectful customer we basically just ignored her as much as we could until security arrived. I think because directly confronting a customer is dangerous, it’s the same reason we can’t stop someone who’s stealing.
That woman’s behavior is terrifying beyond words, this is exactly how my mom behaved. It’s like double speak through action, acting like the victim while actively attacking you so blatantly they’ll be physically striking you while screaming begging you to stop hitting them. Or sobbing almost collapsed on the floor in the only exit door way then instantly jumping up to charge at you. So terrifying.
She needs to teach me how to faint so gracefully . Last time I fainted due to illness I barely had enough time to say "I don't feel well" next thing i fell like a sack of potatoes and woke up with a proper egg on my head😂😂fakest faint i ever saw
Dropped once in Boot camp, don't recall falling, only that someone was trying to help me stand, I didn't even know I hit the deck and was flopping around for a few seconds :D
Once, at a party, I was talking to a friend and she suddenly got this blank look and collapsed on me. I tried to grab her, but I ended up just softening her fall. As you say, this is the fakest faint ever!
Yeah, if you're lucky, you might be able to choose to fall backward and hit your head rather than forward to break your face. No time for purse pillows when fainting.
I have a vp shunt in my brain. Sometimes I have dizzy spells/fainting spells. One time I fell out of my shoes, and my face hit my daughter's leg. My eye scraped down her jeans as I fell and I had a sore, dry eye for a couple of weeks.
If she's so worried about her job & home she should start behaving like a grown up. My grandchildren have grown out of tantrums, admittedly they're a mature 4 & 6 yrs old. Ffs
When she pretended to faint and made sure her head laid on her purse😂😂😂😂 that’s why I shop online to many wackos out there and it would be my luck I would encounter someone like this…
Why would elphik apologize for something she did deliberately? Several eyewitnesses have reported that Elphik both shoved and verbally abused Ms Ukenta, who was simply shopping at a sale table and otherwise minding her own business. This is what comes from a president giving racists permission to act out on their bigotry.
I hate to make it a race thing but I've noticed across a few different states White people do not say excuse me. At least not to Black people. They will stand so close, reach over you, squeeze by in a little space, or brush by as though we are not there. I've experienced it, witnessed it, and seen videos.
@@sweetvictory89 the passive aggressive thing by white people against people of colour is a time tested method of putting poc "in their place", because it's a little bit safer than outright aggression AND it can be hidden and denied more easily. And it's not us making it about race, it's the racists who decide to attack people of colour who make it about race. The victim just wanted to buy some underwear and Karen pushed her out of her way.
@@TheINFJChannel You are right about the personal responsibility part, however, it does not change the former president's speeches' part - his responsibility for creating atmosphere of exclusiveness in this country. He threw America decades back over this question, and that is why society pushed back and BLM exploded.
@@fillemptytummy Now without the link, in case RUclips takes down my reply with the link: I read online about the history of the meme. The sources generally say the origins are uncertain but most sources suggest it was first used by African Americans to counter-frame the intersection of classism and racism they faced. Most sources say the Karen trend fully broke through in 2018. I also read that "Becky" is the younger version of a Karen.
I don’t think the black lady would’ve stopped - she was out for blood, and she got it - even if the other one had apologized she would have made up whatever she wanted about the lady - her only mistake was to throw that tantrum
Imagine how crazy you’d sound saying some random lady threw herself on the ground because you told her to stop following you. It’s a good thing there’s a video.
"Oh no, this woman is recording me - how can I save this situation and stop myself being publicly embarrassed? I know - I'll act like I'm totally unhinged!" Ermmm, okay Karen... you do 'logic' your way, I guess...
It's a lot more sinister than that. She's playing a fragile white woman to play the law against her victim. They see a white woman distressed over an african american person doing anything and immediately criticize them. Thats what the victim was referring to when she mentioned "protecting myself" or "this is how they killing us". I wish the deepest form of shame and just punishment on Abigale.
*The victim was probably laughing for the same reason I was. The ridiculousness of the situation and the batshit CRAZINESS the white lady was presenting were absurd. In a situation like that, if you aren't laughing, you're crying. I would have been afraid that nutjob would follow me out of the mall, if I were the victim.*
I’ve dealt with Karens like that but unfortunately I was the one who lost because I’m black. In both cases the Karen was someone interviewing me for a job and even though I have 2 PhDs I was denied the opportunity because I didn’t look American enough.

@@DigitalBrain22 Part of me always likes to ask if Native Americans are super American in this case since they were here before. The usual answer is silence, change of subject or the bullshit excuse that they bought the territory from the natives so it's legally theirs now.
Laughter can also be a reaction caused by surprise or stress. Also there are people who because of adrenaline (which is there to help us in case of danger) only realise how serious the situation was afterwards. This woman was trying to protect herself and make sure Karen didn't make her end up in jail or dead. Having a stressed laugh is not exactly surprising.
Have any of you ever considered that this officer gets call after call after call day in and day out regarding grown ass adults who behave like six year olds? The cops have to go out there and BABYSIT grown adults and solve their petty, childish arguments, from somebody bumping into them in a Victoria’s Secret store to somebody screaming that a kid stole their iPhone when in fact it was left in an Uber. I seriously can’t stand this “docs” ( or whatever he is) condescending and rude comments about police officers & this is not the first time I have heard him do this. I rarely watch his videos because I find his affect very FLAT. He comes off as a very disturbing person TBH.
As someone who used to suffer a lot of panic attacks like 4 - 5 years ago, it’s really disgusting to see someone try to fake it just because they got caught about to assault someone.
Karen called the police and gave a false accusations saying the woman was threatening her. In New Jersey that's a crime, she waisted the Milburn police department time and resources
I agree it would make more sense to have money put into a lot more mental health services because this lady is clearly ill, I see it everywhere, she’s also trying to manipulate and control the situation by using her victimhood.

She was covering her own ass so the police didn't arrest her once princess Becky lied and used her tears to get the black woman in trouble. Unreal that people like you and the white woman in this video still exist in 2021.
I can’t believe your saying this was temper tantrum and stuff. She has a mental deficiency. She lives in assisted living. You really need to retract this is really awful. This makes me want to cry.
The saddest part is that these days people get together like mobs and they move in whatever direction the others are moving, and if you have a different understanding or opinion of the situation, you are completely canceled out. It's humanity making the same stupid mistakes over and over again throughout history but with different tools. It used to be pitchforks, now it's smartphones and social media. So, since one person decided to upload a video calling her a belittling name that's being used for certain kinds of women, people automatically assume and go into a position of judgment instead of critically analyzing the information and questioning what's missing... Anyways, I believe you.
The broader issue I noted was Victoria's Secret and the Mall failed to implement any level of 'Crisis Management' for such an emergency. When a person is being chased by a stranger in an establishment, not of a sporting venue/arena nature, it should be quickly assessed for eminent threat to the functionality of that place, customers, etc, and a possible emergency. The young lady was clearly a public nuisance and the staff, security and law enforcement acted inappropriately in how they responded and handled that public, volatile situation.
These are my sentiments as well. I mean, weren't they at least concerned that because of her behavior of falling around that she could be a danger to herself? Therefore a potential lawsuit to the store? Wth?! This is ridiculous.
@@dw6317 I can see your point, but there was no way she could have hurt herself delicately placing her head on her handbag like that... oh, wait... she was "fainting".

The crazies need to manage themselves.
Unfortunately, police didn’t see the action and they almost never are able to charge without probable cause - meaning they really can’t charge them. Also law enforcement doesn’t have to charge for any crime.Not cool, I know, but it is that way. 😕

Omg yes I have syncope…. I’ve had some pretty nasty pass out sessions not to mention I have diagnosed anxiety never once do I look around for “validation” when having one. I’m more concerned with my own panic. That was a classic let me fake this and that and see what sticks. 🙄💯
If she had stopped recording, she would have been blamed for the incident. I wholeheartedly believe that. Proof.... The police wouldn't even look at the video, they didn't care.
Nothing even happened. She even went to the police station and filed complaints on all the officers for not doing what she wanted. Kiki was the true Karen in this.
From an historical & legal framework perspective, arcing back to the 1890s up to today when people are told the CCTV or bodycam footage “is not available,” I can’t help wondering how many times Elphick’s strategy has been employed “successfully” by others, male & female.
I had over $300 stolen by a Home Depot employee while he was helping to load my car. The Home Depot managers obstructed when I attempted to get security camera footage. They delayed for a week before finally telling me they would only release it to law enforcement. Then when the police department requested the footage, at first they claimed there was no camera. Then when I showed them the camera clearly mounted on the building, they came up with the security video, but the short time period I needed for proof was mysteriously "whited out". They apologized to the officer and told him it must have been the angle of the sun.

Because she calmed down, she wasn't actively acting in a way to be harmful to herself or others, she was trying to get her to stop recording. Everyone wants to think it's because she's white 🙄
@@Cynnas She calmed down??? Did we watch the same videos? I have watched literally 20 minutes of her assaulting/charging/falsely accusing the victim... If she were ANY OTHER RACE would she have been coddled and comforted by white bystanders and police?
"And in a few seconds, you will hear the typical, agression call of the mall Karen; the screech..." SCREEEEEE "Foes that hear this hostile, antagonizing cry, know they are in deep."
When I'm scared I laugh. My Mom does too. She gets pulled over and it's giggles. I think the Ukenta was afraid of the police BELIEVING the lady gyrating on the floor.
If someone rushed at me AS IF they were going to attack me, that person needs to feel lucky if I whip out my phone as opposed to raising my hands to smack a bitch back. The intent was obviously there and Ms. Ukenta was smart to get it all on video.
That’s ok, if someone attacks you just get your camera out and film, don’t try and escape the attacker or Flee to safety. Store footage now shows she never touched her
Not necessarily. Overly disciplined children are just as likely to act out. Speculating as to why she is this way is useless tbh, theres more than one factor that leads to people acting this way.
It's worked with adults in her life, she's continued to do it. It wouldn't surprise me if she also had the fake Minnie mouse voice, to accompany her childlike fit throwing persona. I find indulged people remain infantile in some aspects to get what they want "daddy please I want a new Barbie" turns to "daddy please I want a new car" in the same voice 11 years later.
@@CageGD I'm pretty sure healthy discipline only occur when the authority figure(s) are both holding themselves to the same(where appropriate) or similar discipline and are examples of the positive effects it potentially has when followed. I agree that it's fairly useless to try to diagnose why she specifically chose to behave like she did though ^^
They were probably thinking "I don't get paid enough to deal with this shit." They should've called mall security asap, at least. Even if they didn't know whose fault it was right at the beginning, they at least should've noticed there was a ruckus happening.
You totally skipped over the racial dynamic. Ukenta being asked to leave was in essence the taking of Karen's side with the "halo effect" of her whiteness. If Ukenta (a BW) were "screeching".... do you think she would have asked Elfa to "leave? " So many layers to this one
“She conveniently passed out with her head on a purse”
LOL!
How else would you pass out? Gotta protect my cheap purse.
Yep. I remember that one. That was the move back in the day. Don't like it, whatever it is? Find a comfortable, safe place, and just pass out! Not my fault. I'm outta here, like that, passed out. Can't you see?
I didn't even notice 😅
And she slid to the floor without so much as a dull thud, too. That takes some talent!
lol you are not very nice Gigi .....not very nice.
That’s not what actually started it. What started it was, Ukenta was at a rack looking through it when Elphick came right next to her, reached around her, and placed an item onto the rack.. (which wasn’t problematic).
The problem was that Elphick stayed right there shoulder to shoulder continuing to go through the rack.
So, Ukenta said, “Excuse me,” and asked Elphick to respect the 6ft Covid distance ESPECIALLY since Elphick wasn’t wearing a mask. Elphick didn’t like that and went to the cashiers asking them to call Security because Ukenta was “rude and threatening her.” Being accused of making threats is what prompted Ukenta to start recording. Elphick swung BEFORE realizing she was being recorded. And she swung because Ukenta was refuting the lie that she ever threatened Elphick. It was only AFTER taking a swing that Elphick realized that Ukenta wasn’t going to fight back and instead chose to record. And when she realized that the attack was recorded, that’s when she retreated from being the aggressor, denied the assault, and understood that she was going to end up online.
Exactly! These Karen’s bait you while they are the aggressors bc they know how it will turn out for a black person. Black people are inherently assumed to be the aggressor in ALL situations. When she realized she was being recorded and the lady wasnt fighting back, she went into full “I’m scared” Karen mode. If she was that scared she would have gotten as far away from her as possible!!! Not stay there and swing at her. People wake up to the manipulation please. WW been doing this forever because they can. People still don’t get it. Smh 🤦🏾♀️
A great detailed analyses. I want you on speed dial.
Spot on.
Thank you!
Thanks for giving the public context. I was wondering what the white woman had done for Ukenta to feel that she needed to record their interaction, a defensive tool that black people now have.
If she was so scared of losing her job and home, I think throwing a full blown tantrum over being recorded was the wrong way to go…
The tantrum was to gain sympathy to stop recording and upload.

Lots of practice... just guessing.
She continues to use temper tantrums because she’s had past success with them. How on earth did her family support this behavior? Looks like there’s going to be a major behavioral shift, or correction, in this young woman’s behavior. She was very much aware that there might be consequences from this tantrum, as she told the police of her concerns about losing her job and her apartment. SMH!

"Dangers of Having No Shame" is the most BRUTAL title.
I have no shame, but I don't have public tantrums, lol! I just have public displays of affection in nightclubs, lol!
I know many women that have no sense of shame whatsoever. But in their case, they plan more carefully than Elphick and they make sure their horrendous acts are done in secret.
This is a common extortion game. It is bait and switch. False accusations and then film as if you are the victim. It can cause the target to react from the primitive brain. It is actually physical brain damage and the police understand these games. Probably she has been treated like this menus times and feels she is losing her mind. People are branded racists and told they have no rights and to keep their mouth shut.

Yea that was a classic. And also when he said "she featured both" when referring Karen's response using a temper tantrum or sympathy to get a response from others. "Featured" LOL
People like her are manipulative from my experience. They use victimhood both to escape wrongdoing and as veiled aggression.
She could, and should have been charged with assault. Assault isn't necessarily physical contact, it's more about the threat.
"An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability."
I'm fairly sure this worked for her when she was little and continued to work until she left home.
That was definitely veiled aggression in my view. Nothing womanly about that as it takes place in Victoria's Secret LOL
@@eleanoraquitaine2966 she's definitely a toddler. That's exactly what I found myself looking at when I watched the video. First thing that popped in my head.
Exactly
I believe she was in complete control of herself during every second of this. She tried the tactic of threats and aggression, then tried the tactic of crying and becoming the victim. When that didn't work, she slowly collapsed to get sympathy from other shoppers. The leg shaking was an elevation of that sympathy bid, as if she had some medical emergency. Then it was back to a combination of aggression and being threatened as she ran after the other woman while telling her to get away. She knew exactly what she was doing, and had complete control the whole time.
And yet I would call her actions "out of control?"
@@bthomson I'd call them "over the top." Jim Carrey's onscreen antics sometimes seemed out of control, and yet he always had complete control. And this woman is nowhere near the performer Jim Carrey is.
I felt like the leg shaking was because her “fainting” didn’t get the reaction she was looking for. Like when a toddler starts the kicking part of a tantrum.
I know it would be nice if we lived in a black and white, good guys and bad guys sort of world, but this is pretty likely a person with mental health issues. Your personal indifference to the possibility is pretty common when people who don't seem "crazy enough" to most normally functioning people have actual psychological episodes in public. You have absolutely no business speaking with a significant amount of certainty on this issue unless you are experienced in the field of mental health.

The woman having the fit was in a full blown narcissistic rage.
An adult acting like a toddler is not normal and seems to be the manipulation of a narcissist.
Way too many people like this in America, today. It’s the Freedom crowd - freedom from responsibility to society, others, and for emotional discipline and character. I suspect they were spoiled brats that never emotionally matured and who missed the benefits of higher Ed, opting for over-priced job training (which, far from actually educating them, instead stokes their overblown, infantile egos). I could be wrong, but I don’t think so.

I’ve had panic attacks and I can barely talk, breathe, and move let alone call the cops. Never did I have a temper tantrum during a panic attack. I have hyperventilated, tried to ground myself, and literally couldn’t carry a conversation with anyone else. I almost called 911 after my first one but took myself to the ER because I thought I had a heart attack. Panic attacks are so scary and most of the time you feel like you can’t breathe. She never said anything like that. She was manipulating the situation. The doctor got it right 100%.
I’m sorry, I have panic episodes too, and unfortunately a lot of people who don’t seem to equate them with temper tantrums… far from. I still remember the first panic attack I had, how tight my chest was, how I felt like I couldn’t breathe, it’s terrifying and you can’t just snap out of it. Even after years and therapy, I still have panic attacks, and while I may become irritable, overwhelmed, and have to leave, I have never, nor have I witnessed anyone I know who also have panic attacks ever behave other than maybe crying, like this lady. She definitely behaved in an attention seeking manner- panic attacks are not attention seeking.
So glad I got over mines. You got to simply release and ride those waves and face that fear
Yes panic attacks are no joke and should never be used as an excuse for this type of behavior.
I also had them, and I only managed to went the nursing room where I worked or asked someone to take me to the hospital. I couldn't breathe, stop crying and talk normally. No way in hell I could scream (one time the nurse took one hour to get my personal information because I couldn't speak, so she gave oxygen and keeping saying "every thing is fine, you're ok, I'm here" and if she needed to go to another room, she always said" I'm right back, but if you need me, make some noise" (it was a small nursing on the mall, so she would have listened). I once talked to a Uber who also had them and he told that he had the same symptoms but would also pass out, and because of that he stopped working as a driver for some time because on one time he only had time to stop the car on the sideways (he was telling me how better he got and how important is to take care of yourself). I mean, this lady is something else -.-... She's just trying to manipulate people.
Word.
You made a wonderful analysis of this particular event. I've only got one thing to add:
The woman recording was certainly under the threat of being falsely accused. She says as much: who are they going to believe, her white ass or my black ass (or something like that). Narrating the recording is also serving the purpose of giving context. Threat isn't just imminent threat, it is fear over backlash as well.
Yes the sardonic "bye karen", as she came back to get one last shot of the women lying quietly on the ground before going to check on the yoga mats, definitely is helpful context!
@@Benson_Bear
Seriously? That's your argument?
Ukenta says it from behind the safety of the camera and I think she kept a rather civilized tongue compared to Elphick. That doesn't mean that there wasn't a threat coming from Elphick, the "damsell in distress", even though it wasn't imminent at the moment Ukenta said it. For her it was a release of tension to laugh. And let's face it, anyone seeing Elphick's behaviour with a little knowledge of how actual mental disturbed people react will call her Karen too and laugh at her ridiculous performance.
Elphick is a disgrace to the cause of mental health awareness. Her example makes it difficult for people to learn the right response to a person with a real anxiety attack. And that I find at least as much of a problem.
I do have an appropriate response to Elphick: a bucket full of cold water.
I'm not diagnosing anyone in this situation...

Guarantee she did it every time she got in trouble as a child, and her parents ALWAYS gave in to her, rather than disciplining her as most of our parents did when we tried that crap.

They could, but they're too afraid of getting sued for some bs reason or another.
It's bullshit. They didn't want to.
Yes you can and you will not get sued if the customer is having a aggressive temper tantrum! usually the cops or security escort them out!
"People asked Ukenta to leave". I really hate situations like this, I guess asking the calm person to leave is the path of least resistance and easiest way to diffuse a situation but gives the loud, agressive people what they want and is completely spineless.

There were people in the comments sayin that the black lady should have not scared her. And the black lady had no business in the store.
I asked them how that was something logical to say? And they tried to correct themselves by saying..." No no I meant. The black lady should have not shopped there."
I was like..... How and the hell is that correct?

It is always easier to ask the reasonable person to be reasonable.
@@brendamcleod4172 except it isn’t reasonable to ask someone who has done nothing wrong to interrupt their shopping and leave because of a wildling.
It’s actually quite scary to have someone chasing you, especially when they’re charging at you like Elphick. Honestly, she should be deeply ashamed of her behavior. It was vile.
It’s a shame no one asked her to leave the store.

From all the public freakouts that I have seen this is one of the most bizzarre ones mostly because of how fast Karen changed strategies.
This is high level Karen perhaps
All while being filmed, as if she was getting a few "takes". Did she think someone would cut out the part where she dramatically changed demeanor several times?
@@sydneyd2094 This is 4-d chess level Karen.

I have never seen anyone faint in slow motion. WOW, especially cause she fell on her purse, CONvenient.
I've fainted before and it wasn't anything like that.
I've fainted before from a standing position as well, and I went down HARD!
I have seizures and fainting spells due to psychological distress. Unfortunately a lot of the times my classmates believe their fake. They do look different than seizures due to epileptic ones (im sure as I've never seen someone have an epileptic seizures). But I can say regardless of what the fainting is caused by you don't slowly fall ESPECIALLY conveniently on a purse.
@@jasperrosa1369 I've fainted and had some sort of seizures and I have to say I have at times "fainted slowly", meaning I felt lightheaded and strange, and I went down carefully to avoid falling and getting hurt. If you have "warning symptoms" like lightheadedness, tunnel vision, "swooshing" in the ears, like I sometimes have, then you can be able to do that.
That said, I don't think she fainted here.
LOL
I’m not stranger to passing out, I get bad anxiety attacks and even my asthma has caused me to collapse during school.
The way Elphick just so slowly and softly fell down... it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen anyone do.
When I fainted, I hit my head pretty badly.
I watched my brother legit pass out slower than that before. He got too stoned and forgot to breathe.
@@throbbinwoodofcoxley6830It’s def possible to pass out slowly, not uncommon at all, it’s just that most of the time someone passing out happens almost immediately and suddenly.
I don’t smoke but forgetting to breathe is relatable af to me with my weak ass lungs lmao
She should have been arrested., for charging at the black lady. That was no panic attack.
RIGHT !!
Yes if it was the opposite situation and the Black woman had chased the white woman, she would have been arrested no doubt.
AGREED!! 💯%
She didn't touch her. There's a lot of what ifs.!!!!!!!!
@@janeyd5280 she did touch her😂
If she hadn't done anything as the black woman started filming, it would have been nothing, and her job and apartment would be safe. Everything she did made it 10 times worse. But, this is probably how she's been acting since she was a child, to get out of trouble.
I'd bet that too.
At the part where Elphick "falls down" on the floor, I had instant recall of memories of my (younger) Narcissist sister doing exactly that to get out of doing anything she was told to.
My Narcissist mother used to laugh loudly at the drama. They both fed each other's dysfunction.
@@caroliner2029 wow. That must have been a soap opera to watch 😳!!
@@Tabby.cat2 it was!
She grew up to be a professional victim, and attached herself to a man who exhibits a lot of Co-Dependant traits (compulsive caretaking, making endless excuses for her lies, spite, antagonism, etc), so she has another enabler now.
Before I started no contact with her, her husband used to complain that she'd stonewall him (silent treatment) when she didn't want to do something.
Narcissists aren't interested in personal growth, only control and power over others through manipulation.
My sister is a stunted individual.
I've been watching Jamie Lynn Spears' behaviour with interest. Britney and her sister are poles apart.
Everyone around them went about their day... unbothered but the whole situation, why wasn’t she just asked to leave by the manager....
Bystander effect I guess.
Must be NYC or a major city
If I was an employee or manager I think stepping in would just make it worse. She obviously wants a lot of attention
From my experience working retail when we had a situation with an irate and disrespectful customer we basically just ignored her as much as we could until security arrived. I think because directly confronting a customer is dangerous, it’s the same reason we can’t stop someone who’s stealing.
I would've dumped a bucket of water on the clown meself.
That woman’s behavior is terrifying beyond words, this is exactly how my mom behaved. It’s like double speak through action, acting like the victim while actively attacking you so blatantly they’ll be physically striking you while screaming begging you to stop hitting them. Or sobbing almost collapsed on the floor in the only exit door way then instantly jumping up to charge at you. So terrifying.
I think that shaking thing with the legs is technically called a "temper tantrum"
lol, yes.
It was hilarious
Yep. This is what happens when you throw temper tantrums as a child and your parents ALWAYS give in.
More like a tremor tantrum
Like those alien critters that travel under the sand?
She needs to teach me how to faint so gracefully . Last time I fainted due to illness I barely had enough time to say "I don't feel well" next thing i fell like a sack of potatoes and woke up with a proper egg on my head😂😂fakest faint i ever saw
Dropped once in Boot camp, don't recall falling, only that someone was trying to help me stand, I didn't even know I hit the deck and was flopping around for a few seconds :D
They say she is a teacher, sooo...maybe that's what she actually teaches at some remote school that offers such classes....LOL
Once, at a party, I was talking to a friend and she suddenly got this blank look and collapsed on me. I tried to grab her, but I ended up just softening her fall. As you say, this is the fakest faint ever!
Yeah, if you're lucky, you might be able to choose to fall backward and hit your head rather than forward to break your face. No time for purse pillows when fainting.
I have a vp shunt in my brain. Sometimes I have dizzy spells/fainting spells. One time I fell out of my shoes, and my face hit my daughter's leg. My eye scraped down her jeans as I fell and I had a sore, dry eye for a couple of weeks.
If she's so worried about her job & home she should start behaving like a grown up. My grandchildren have grown out of tantrums, admittedly they're a mature 4 & 6 yrs old. Ffs
This is proof of good home training ♥️
Right, my 3yo has never acted anything remotely like this.
@Mr_ Tinez She didn't assault anyone. She tried to grab or cover up the camera.
When she pretended to faint and made sure her head laid on her purse😂😂😂😂 that’s why I shop online to many wackos out there and it would be my luck I would encounter someone like this…
Same here 👍

Period lol. This is why I shop online.
@Phyllis Peach. Same here. I don't need free panties that badly! LoL.
Whatever happened to "oh my goodness I'm so sorry please excuse me". That's worked for me for 6 decades.
Why would elphik apologize for something she did deliberately? Several eyewitnesses have reported that Elphik both shoved and verbally abused Ms Ukenta, who was simply shopping at a sale table and otherwise minding her own business. This is what comes from a president giving racists permission to act out on their bigotry.
It doesn't work anymore because too many people nowadays are on psychiatric medications and their brain chemistry is all messed up, so...
I hate to make it a race thing but I've noticed across a few different states White people do not say excuse me. At least not to Black people. They will stand so close, reach over you, squeeze by in a little space, or brush by as though we are not there. I've experienced it, witnessed it, and seen videos.
@@sweetvictory89 the passive aggressive thing by white people against people of colour is a time tested method of putting poc "in their place", because it's a little bit safer than outright aggression AND it can be hidden and denied more easily. And it's not us making it about race, it's the racists who decide to attack people of colour who make it about race. The victim just wanted to buy some underwear and Karen pushed her out of her way.
@@TheINFJChannel You are right about the personal responsibility part, however, it does not change the former president's speeches' part - his responsibility for creating atmosphere of exclusiveness in this country. He threw America decades back over this question, and that is why society pushed back and BLM exploded.
Same thing I was thinking. This "coping mechanism" has probably been her most effective default setting😒
Yup, since she was 2, apparently.
I bet she’s a middle child. Dated two of them. They acted just like her.
I was both middle child and first born. What then huh?
I agree. Freaking out to get her way is something she is very practiced at doing.
YEAH RIGHT! ONLY WHEN SHE'S DEALING WITH BLACK PEOPLE!

Also there are people who because of adrenaline (which is there to help us in case of danger) only realise how serious the situation was afterwards.

I think the only reason she didn't lie and make up a grander story is because the other woman was smart enough to keep recording to protect herself
could she be arrested for somthing like malicious intent?

That's why Karens do what they do. "Help me! I'm a vulnerable white princess being unjustly attacked by these savages! Won't some brave soul help me?!" It makes me want to vomit.
Until there are actual consequences for people calling the cops for no good damn reason, we're going to continue having incidents like this. She should be charged and held accountable for misusing 911. The other lady actually had reason to call the cops.

Unreal that people like you and the white woman in this video still exist in 2021.

I can’t believe your saying this was temper tantrum and stuff. She has a mental deficiency. She lives in assisted living. You really need to retract this is really awful. This makes me want to cry.
The saddest part is that these days people get together like mobs and they move in whatever direction the others are moving, and if you have a different understanding or opinion of the situation, you are completely canceled out. It's humanity making the same stupid mistakes over and over again throughout history but with different tools. It used to be pitchforks, now it's smartphones and social media.
So, since one person decided to upload a video calling her a belittling name that's being used for certain kinds of women, people automatically assume and go into a position of judgment instead of critically analyzing the information and questioning what's missing...

The broader issue I noted was Victoria's Secret and the Mall failed to implement any level of 'Crisis Management' for such an emergency. When a person is being chased by a stranger in an establishment, not of a sporting venue/arena nature, it should be quickly assessed for eminent threat to the functionality of that place, customers, etc, and a possible emergency.
The young lady was clearly a public nuisance and the staff, security and law enforcement acted inappropriately in how they responded and handled that public, volatile situation.
These are my sentiments as well. I mean, weren't they at least concerned that because of her behavior of falling around that she could be a danger to herself? Therefore a potential lawsuit to the store? Wth?! This is ridiculous.
@@dw6317 I can see your point, but there was no way she could have hurt herself delicately placing her head on her handbag like that... oh, wait... she was "fainting".

They just saw it as “two petty women arguing.” That’s how they always react in these types of situations.
Unfortunately, police didn’t see the action and they almost never are able to charge without probable cause - meaning they really can’t charge them. Also law enforcement doesn’t have to charge for any crime.Not cool, I know, but it is that way. 😕

I had over $300 stolen by a Home Depot employee while he was helping to load my car. The Home Depot managers obstructed when I attempted to get security camera footage. They delayed for a week before finally telling me they would only release it to law enforcement. Then when the police department requested the footage, at first they claimed there was no camera. Then when I showed them the camera clearly mounted on the building, they came up with the security video, but the short time period I needed for proof was mysteriously "whited out". They apologized to the officer and told him it must have been the angle of the sun.
